I would really appreciate it if someone helped me with this problem I've been having. I posted this to another forum weeks ago and no one replied back... guess it's a bit of a complex problem. Here goes...

I have an iBook G3, 384 MB RAM, 600MHz processor running Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar). I have Logic Audio Platinum 5.5. I've been able to record audio perfectly on this and am happy with this but the problem I am having is that I can't seem to get any MIDI activity into Logic Audio...

I have an Roland ep90. The MIDI Out on this keyboard goes into In Port A of a Midiman 2x2 and another MIDI cable from the Out Port A of the 2x2 going into MIDI In on my keyboard.

I go to the Environment in Logic Audio and set up the following in the Clicks & Ports:
Physical Input, then I connect this (from the SUM port) to a Monitor object and then I connect the Monitor object to the Sequencer Input. When I press keys on my keyboard I don't see any MIDI events show up in the Monitor object and I do not see any MIDI activity in the Transport bar. I have my keyboard configured correctly so I know this is not the problem. Also I have Reason 2.0 and a separate MIDI monitor program and these work perfectly. I'm not sure if I'm missing something.

One curious thing that I found out today is the following:
As I noted above I have a MIDI monitor program. I downloaded it from the Apple site. All it does is show the MIDI events that are going through the interface and display them in a window; so when I press keys on my keyboard I see them showing up in the monitor program (like "A2 note on"). If I have this program open and I open Logic Audio Platinum 5.5 the output window on the MIDI monitor program freezes. I tried opening Reason 2.0 when I had LAP 5.5 open and I got a MIDI error message. I don't know if this is a problem with Logic killing MIDI somehow on the system.

Anyway, has anyone come across this type of problem. Any ideas? Any help or suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks.
